According to data from the regional meteorological center of the India Meteorological Department (IMD), the active monsoon season continues in the state of Uttar Pradesh. Rainfall of varying intensity is expected in different parts of the region—from light to very heavy rain.
Meteorologists have issued a warning for heavy or very heavy rainfall for the Lalitpur district. Additionally, a warning for heavy rain has been issued in 12 districts, including Banda, Chitrakoot, Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnor, Muradabad, Rampur, Bareli, Pilibhit, Hamirpur, Mahoba, and Jansi. Overall, thunderstorm rain is forecasted in 42 districts of the state.
Due to the expected period of rain, meteorologists advise residents to remain vigilant and avoid unnecessary travel. There is a possibility of flooding in several places, rising water levels in small streams and rivers, and disruption of traffic.
According to the meteorological service forecasts, most of Western and several districts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh will be under cloud cover. Intermittent rains are expected during the day: light precipitation is possible in some places, while heavy downpours are expected in others. Monsoon processes remain active, which accounts for the variability of the weather. The probability of cloudiness persists from the morning, and rain activity may intensify in the afternoon and evening. Residents of districts with heavy rain warnings should be especially cautious.
The IMD predicts heavy or very heavy rains in the Lalitpur district. Prolonged intense precipitation may lead to the flooding of low-lying areas, and the water level in small streams and temporary watercourses may rise. Residents of these areas are advised to exercise caution. Meteorologists note that continuous rain can affect daily life by causing road inundation, movement difficulties, and reduced visibility.
The list of 12 districts receiving heavy rain warnings includes Banda, Chitrakoot, Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Bijnor, Muradabad, Rampur, Bareli, Pilibhit, Hamirpur, Mahoba, and Jansi. Localized heavy rains are possible in all these districts, which may cause street flooding, water accumulation on roads, and transport problems. Local administrations are also advised to increase vigilance.
In addition to rain, there is a risk of thunderstorms and lightning strikes in 42 districts of the state. These districts include Banda, Chitrakoot, Fatehpur, Lakhimpur Kheri, Hardoi, Farrukhabad, Kannauj, Kanpur Dehat, Kanpur Nagar, Saharanpur, Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Baghpat, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Hapur, Gotambuddha Nagar, Bulandshahr, Aligarh, Mathura, Hathras, Kasanj, Eta, Agra, Firozabad, Mainpuri, Itawa, Ariya, Bijnor, Amroha, Muradabad, Rampur, Bareli, Pilibhit, Shahjahanpur, Sambal, Badaut, Jalaun, Hamirpur, Mahoba, Jansi, and Lalitpur. Residents of these districts are strongly advised to exercise extra caution and avoid being in open spaces during a thunderstorm.
IMD forecasts indicate high rainfall activity in most districts of Western Uttar Pradesh. At the same time, intermittent rain and showers are also expected in some parts of Eastern Uttar Pradesh. The weather will constantly change, alternating between heavy downpours and light drizzles. Cloudiness will persist throughout the day, and rain may fall intermittently. Residents of districts with heavy rain warnings should be especially cautious.
Drivers are advised to exercise increased caution when driving in the rain, as visibility may decrease. They must maintain a moderate speed and keep a safe distance, avoiding flooded areas. Two-wheeler riders must be particularly careful due to the risk of falls on slippery roads. Residents of districts with thunderstorm warnings should stay in a safe building during a lightning strike, avoiding open fields and trees. Farmers are advised to ensure proper drainage in fields to prevent waterlogging in rice, sugarcane, corn, arhar, udd, mung, peanuts, til, and vegetable crops, as prolonged water presence increases the risk of plant diseases.
